Respected sir/madam,
I want to take certifiey copy of property related documents under RTI act,2005 by police officer which are submitted by complaint but they do not give me a certify copy of document of under RTI act,2005 and give section 8(1)g of rti under which they can not provide certify copy of documents .
What can I do for obtaining the documents.
Thank you
Hi! Thanks for the question! Here it would be necessary to know the type of documents that you want the police to disclose. Before that, it cannot be ascertained whether the police is under a duty to furnish the documents or not.
Also you will have to understand and appreciate the fact that the police cannot be lousy in such cases as this would result into an undue disclosure of confidential files and information that might affect the public policy at large. The police are bound by law to deny the disclosure if it is against the provisions of section 8 (1) of the RTI Act 2005. So both the parties, you and police are justified here. I would request you to provide more information so that the liability of police can be ascertained.
